Jon, Of course its greatest featuares is that it covers the entire US. (How much detail does it have outside of cities?) Thus it can provide the map for any question I may have about some place I don't normally have highway/street maps of. It would be of great help, for instance if I wanted to make an unexpected trip to Seattle which I haven't been to in a decade or more, so I could just print out a map of the area I need to know the streets on and not have to look for a street map after I get there. But in general, I think a regular highway map is still better to sit in your chair and plan a trip with. And most importantly–their CD-ROM is totally useless when I walk away from the computer. And even if I had a laptop with a portable CD-ROM drive, it wouldn't be the most convenient way to look at a map while traveling. Lanny
